Abstract

A 64-year-old woman with a history of cerebral infarction from chronic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery presented with acute myocardial infarction. Double, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting could not prevent stroke caused by atheroembolism from the ascending aorta. The risk of stroke from atheroembolism should be taken into consideration when planning coronary artery bypass grafting. (Circ J 2002; 66: 777 - 778)
